Did you know that ~ AMERICA MEMORIAL DAY

What Is The Former Name Of Memorial Day?

Memorial Day occurs on the last Monday in May and marks the solemn time when Americans honor the soldiers that died in military service.

What was the original name of Memorial Day?

When the observance was first declared in 1868 by General John Logan, it was called Decoration Day in reference to a tradition of decorating the graves of those whose lives were lost in the Civil War and its set date was May 30.

In the years following World War I, the day picked up the more inclusive name Memorial Day as people began to use it as time to honor all who died in all US wars. For many, the holiday signifies the unofficial beginning of the summer season.

What is the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?

There is frequent confusion between Memorial Day and its companion holiday, Veterans Day.

The purpose of Memorial Day is to honor those who have died in American military service, while November 11, Veterans Day, is for those who have served the US in war and survived.

Veteran derives from the Latin veteranus meaning “mature, experienced” and has been used to refer to experienced soldiers for centuries. Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day, marking the agreement that brought an end to World War I on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918 (November 11th, 1918).

In 1954, the name of the holiday was changed to Veterans Day in the United States. However, in some parts of the world, November 11 is known as Remembrance Day.

IT’S ALMOST TIME TO W(H)INE AND DINE, ] Lots of PREP TIME shall be mine.]

PutOnMyBestFace for THIS TIME, ] For I WANT it toBE sublime,

APPROPRIATE and PROPER, see, ] WHEN FINISHED, feeling GOOD for ME,

Is CRITICAL and very needed; I donotwannabe UPSET or out seeded.

A cool look; a calming stare; I WANNA WIN The Teddy Bear,

That Will be MY prize If I can en-dure, Perhaps2Hours NoMore NoSir.

Just LUCID IL-LUMIN-ATIONS with some GRACE; I need a calm look on MY face.

No twitching, itching, shakes or chinks IN MY ARMOR, for that really stinks.

I WANT TO INTER-ACT AND GROW & be come bet ter don’t YOU KNOW.

And I hear (him/her) NOW; am I ready? TO DEAL WITH ISSUES VERY steady,

And THEN A SMALL DOG COMES INTO VIEW;

“Well, now, what am I to do with you?

I was EXPECTING something else DANG, am I EVEN READY NOW?

I WAS expecting an old, black cow.”

But, instead, this miniature Doberman walks right in,

And tells me that I me I am steeped in sin;

No, suddenly, (s)he tells me I HAVE NO SIN AT ALL.

Well, DANG which is it? WITHOUT A BOX I CAN NOT HAVE A BALL.

The little dog just sits a while, ] AND then sug gests that we reset the dial;

“DIAL to DISCOMFORT, if you wish to grow;

Complacent things are DEAD, you know.”

Well, this RILES ME UP, so I say: “What do you mean?

I WANT TO BE A CALM POOL, and I have WORKED to preen,

MYSELF MYSELF for our dis course.”

“Well, why not drop the pretense,” says pooch; “BUT of course,

YOU CAN ALWAYS BE READY WITH AN EGOIC GLEE,

But WHAT GOOD IS THAT, if the ego will JUST BE,

And agreeTO calm, nice, pleasant and dull?

The ego LIKES PEACE AND EASE, and does not like to feel any pull.”

Moral: So the EGO likes to PREPARE AND read a book, AND follow the procedure[s] with an expert look. And remind everyone of how far (s)he has gone, AND hopefully we are not SO FAR GONE that we believe THE EGO’S CON.

Well, I do not know about The Devil, but I think, IF you are your own boss,

And you can accept ALL TRULY love all and go everywhere,

Visit everyone without judgment and, in a sense – not really care,

And IF your associates MIGHT BE addicts, tax collectors or sluts,

THAT MAY BE YOU HAVE MADE IT

(Just my opinion)

I am simply One of The Mutts.*

fin ♥

– The Mutts BUT I AM NOT TRYING TO PUT MYSELF DOWN BY SAYING THAT. I JUST LIKE TO KEEP A LOW PROFILE, TRY L.O.L. to stay a bit humble and TRY L. O. L. to stay away from judgment and back biting and talking behind other people’s back(s) and ACCEPTING even what I find kind of vile, obscene, haughty, and or disrespectfully mean. Does that make any sense at ALL?
